Rain, rain, is here to stay...at least a bit longer it seems. Prayers to those effected horribly by the hurricane. Here in Mexico City we have just had a good hard rain, but it should prove to be no problem other than the cuffs of our pants getting a bit wet or the possibility of being so unlucky as to step in one of the many puddles, thus soaking our shoes and socks. It rains pretty much daily in the summers here in Mexico City, though this rain has persisted unlike other days. Just a brief lesson in Mexico City climate...
And now for a look at traffic...
Situation...mucho traffico in the morning now that school is in session. Be warry of the puse-green metro line as the rain is effecting its efficiency. Buses are packed with non-walkers, so expect to be crammed like sardines...expect this every day, rain or shine in the mornings while school is in session.
On to other news...
For those of you interested in what I (Kevin) am learning in language school here has been the second most common question posed to me in the three days in attendence:
¿De donde eres? (Where are you from?)
My response:
Soy de Estados Unidos.
or
Soy estadounidense.
And for the bit of useless information...
The stray dogs here can be pretty mangy, but they are all very well behaved. They walk by on the streets without a beg or care of the passersby. Non-aggressive and non-curious they may just be the most behaved dogs I´ve ever seen. Still, they do little to make me want to cuddle with one. Sadly there are many strays on the street.

Hi friends,
It's good to read some of your posts and hear about life there. Will you be living in the same place your whole stay? I can't wait to visit you and see the staircase to heaven.
Kevin (and Leah too), language learning is one of the most humbling but also most rewarding things I have ever tackled in my life. Hang in there!
